When it’s time for a water heater replacement, you have many things to think about. Luckily, Parker Pearce Service Experts is here to help. Before you invest in a new water heater, you need to decide which system best meets your family’s wishes. Fortunately, the team of professionals at Parker Pearce Service Experts can talk with you about the things you’ll need to choose from, including which type of fuel is optimal for your water heating needs, how big your water heater tank needs to be, how energy efficient the system is and which versions are within your budget.

Types of Water Heaters

Traditional tank water heaters hold substantial amounts of water which is heated and ready to use.

Tankless water heaters heat water directly, when you need it.

Solar water heaters typically have a storage tank that holds water heated by the sun.

Water Heater Size

The size of your water heater depends on your hot water usage and on the sort of water heater you buy. Parker Pearce Service Experts can help determine that by helping you understand your hot water usage, the flow rate of different devices in your house and how many of the devices you’ll choose to use at the same time.

For tankless water heaters, the process will be alike in that a local professional from Parker Pearce Service Experts can assess your needs, factoring in your estimated temperature growth based on the temperature of your water when it enters your home. After we’ve completed the math for you, we’ll recommend a few options as tankless water heaters are typically rated on a variety of inlet temperatures.

Sizing a traditional tank water heater can be a little easier than a tankless water heater because our experts only need to determine how much water needs to be gathered to meet your water needs at peak usage. It can all be a bit overwhelming but we’re here to help you.

Fuel Type

Depending on your location and other components, you have a assortment of choices for powering your new water heater. It can also vary on where you live, but Parker Pearce Service Experts will provide you with information on the best options for the Gaithersburg area and your specific needs.

If you’re in Gaithersburg, a tankless water heater is a wonderful option for saving money on utility bills. It has between 80% and 92% efficiency. Not only will tankless water heaters save space, but they also work in a totally different way than typical tank-style water heaters, which heat all of the stored water at once. The difficulty with that is—if the heated water doesn’t get used up—the water cools eventually and needs to be reheated.

Tankless Water Heaters use gas burners or electric coils to heat water only when necessary, saving you big-time on energy bills. Just think how convenient it would be to have a constant supply of hot water. Yes… with a tankless system you can run your washing machine…and still get a hot shower! They are small in size, energy-efficient in design, and low-cost to operate.

With ENERGYSTAR®-certified models, and backed by the skilled plumbing team at Parker Pearce Service Experts, you can be assured that you won’t have to worry about taking a shower with cold water (unless you wanted to).

The tank water heater is designed to heat and store water in the tank, usually 40 or 50 gallons at a time. When the dishwasher, the washing machine, or a soothing hot shower runs, the pre-heated water that’s stored in the tank flows quickly to the point of use. The tank then refills, and the water is reheated. Tankless water heaters heat water instantly and can provide a virtually unlimited supply of hot water. But honestly, there are positives and negatives to both types of hot water heaters, and the decision to invest in one or the other should be based on your needs.
